Our attorneys have filed a class action complaint against Aaron’s, Inc., the rent-to-own furniture retailer, on behalf of a New York man and South Carolina woman who allege that Aaron’s spammed them with repeated calls to their cell phones, even though they were registered on the National Do-Not-Call List.
They seek to represent a class of similarly situated individuals who also received calls from Aaron’s using a prerecorded or machine-generated voice, and a class of individuals who received unwanted calls regarding Aaron’s services despite being on the National Do-Not-Call List.
Complaint: Aaron’s Repeated Calls Using a Prerecorded Voice
The NY plaintiff alleges that he received repeat phone calls from Aaron’s, during which Aaron’s left voicemails that were “all the same: a pre-recorded voice stating that Aaron’s would like to speak to [him], and requesting he dial a callback number for Aaron’s corporate headquarters.”
The SC plaintiff alleged that she had received the same prerecorded message from Aaron’s on September 25, October 1, October 3, October 5, October 8, October 10, and October 12, 2018; and that Aaron’s called from a variety of numbers, including:
“(317) 559-4690; (480) 681-5389; (737) 237-1891; and (213) 213-5227.”
The complaint seeks class action status and statutory damages under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) of up to $1,500 per unwanted phone call.
